What does it take to get an S?

trash sion··3 votes·629 views

Just went 10/1/12 as Zac in a 30 minute game and got A-

We had a Lucian go 16/5/6 and get S-

and a Riven go 10/6/6 for an S-

What the actual fuck.

Same kill participation as Lucian with less deaths, on a tank, and same kills, less deaths, more assists than a RIVEN and yet I get a lower grade.

Why?

KDA isn't the only thing required. Farm, skill matchups (including the enemy laner), towers/inhibs destroyed, and overall objectives taken are taken into account too. I went 6/6/20 today and got an S- because I had great farm and helped take towers, despite us losing. People need to stop focusing on the kda and start looking at the match as a whole

Well I was against a Kindred who we dumpstered, although my CS was a bit lower than hers because I was more focused on ganking. I didn't take any objectives besides dragon myself, although I did assist in taking towers (what I mean is that I didn't get last hit so it didn't count for me.)

Not sure what else I can do.

I can't really explain what you could've done better seeing how I wasn't in the game with you, but after frustrating games like that try looking back and seeing what opportunities you missed/could've handled better (even if you won). You probably should've gottk en an S, the only reasoning I can think of why you didn't is because the enemy team's mmr was significantly lower than your own, meaning the system expected you to do well Good Luck on the Rift though [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

it also compares you to the average of people who play your champion, so if you do similar to the average Riven, for instance, you're not getting an insane grade.

They had more kills than assists. You have more assists than kills. Riot is telling us to be selfish >_+

yes, actually; I notice that the only S+ I get as a support player is when I play Sona and I have an awkward amount of random kills. Otherwise I can't get past S no matter what,

Well there's a reason they use those letters to represent the gaming performance. S stands for Stealing kills, and A stands for Assisting kills. B stands for Backing away from kills you would otherwise get, and C is for those who Can't kill opponents to begin with. D is obviously Dying too much, and if you manage to reach the E of Easy kill then you might wanna practice bot games for a bit.

They're legendary and generally are unobtainable >_+.

Because both Riven and Lucian have a larger player base than Zac. Your score compared to other Zac's was apparently not worthy of an S while both the Riven and Lucian's performances were compared to other players of those champs.

It all depends on the champion, it has more to do with their skill level. Lucian is a 6 and Zac is an 8 so of course he will take a bit more to hit the mark.
